Did you know there are two different types of health? There’s physical health—health related to your body, both fitness and nutrition, and then there’s mental health—health related to your mind and psychological well-being.

The Best English School to Improve Speaking

American English Language School is a different type of language school. While other language schools let you enroll whenever you like, AELS has specific course start dates. Having no rolling enrollment allows students to feel comfortable because they are with the same students throughout the 12 weeks in their ESL class. This way, you are more comfortable talking and participating in the class.
